jadajada Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I am trying Lion on my D620 which run SL fine. I installed via myhack, got a working desktop with no mouse or keyboard. I connected kb and mouse through usb and installed edp. I ran the install and rebooted. Now the screen turns black where the login screen should have appeared. Any way to fix this? If I start fresh, what did I do wrong? It is an intel gma950 at 1440x900. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 18, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 18, 2013 Did you install the right bootpack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 18, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 18, 2013 did you build for high res d620 model? also double check in bios that it is in fact gma not nvidia. then build appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadajada Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 I made another install disk. I am sure it is intel and I am sure I installed the right bootpack. When I try this install today on the same machine, the screen goes black during install. I booted -v and everything looks ok. The last message I see is "acpi failed to get provider" or something like that. Then the screen turns grey like it should, but instead of seeing the installer start, the screen goes black. Is there something I can type as boot parameters to prevent this? Does someone know what could cause it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 19, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'll try and have a look tonight. Meantime, check your BIOS settings against the recommended ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted February 20, 2013 Administrators Share Posted February 20, 2013 try closing the lid, let it sleep and open the screen. make sure to update the bios to the latest dell bios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
